mmm, self-absorption...

My favorite story is always my most recent (in this case, the Sports Night one or the Everwood I'm posting tomorrow), there's no way to tell how much I'll like them in a few months.

So, two stories of mine that I would recommend:

Tourniquet. Firefly. Summary: Simon's on top of things. Really.

This is probably the story that really comes the very closest to capturing I had in mind when I began it. I can reread it and be proud of the writing, the characterization, and the mood. It's crazy space incest (Simon/River) but it's subdued, and in fact, I think this is probably the story of mine that most closely resembles canon. I'm just very proud of it, and I enjoy it a lot.

Rings and Sores. Smallville. Summary: There's more than one way.

My favorite of my Smallville stories changes frequently. This isn't the one that's most popular, or that I think has the best writing, or even the one with the most meaning for me personally. But it's the one I'd recommend, nonetheless. It was kind of an experiment for me, finding a line for myself between happy riftless futurefic and that of dark dark apocalyptic craziness. The two things that I tended to get in feedback for this were "sweet" and "creepy", and it was managing that combination, that line, that made me happy. The Clark and Lex here aren't the ones I generally see, but ones I could believe in anyway, as they keep tempering and changing each other.

favorite fannish things

I will have original content back up on here again, rather than just random memes, but ... eh. I'm tired. And this one combines the pleasures of list-making and reliving things that makes me happy.

Off the top of my head, favorite fannish things (from shows, not fan-created, in my case):

• The car crash and Clark and Lex's talk in the mansion in the pilot, Smallville
  
• Lex shooting Clark and the friendship of legend scene in Hug, Smallville
  
• The reunion in Phoenix, Smallville
  
• Babies in the truck in Lineage, Smallville
  
• Ephram and Andy's argument in pilot, Everwood
  
• Colin fighting his friends in Miracle of Everwood, Everwood
  
• River's shooting in War Stories, Firefly
  
• Large portions of Out of Gas, Firefly
  
• wee!Tams flashback, Firefly
  
• The beginning scene in the White House, X2
  
• Magneto's seduction of John on the plane, X2
  
• Jack stepping into the moonlight after being stabbed, Pirates of the Caribbean
  
• Large portions of Victoria's Secret, due South
  
• Buddy breathing and punching in Mountie on the Bounty, due South
  
• The fight in the library, confrontation of Angel and end of Becoming, Buffy
  
• More or less any Scooby death in The Wish, Buffy

For someone who's so randomly schmoopy and doesn't like darkfic, I sure do like it when they hurt each other.
